Abstract
A microfluidic device is disclosed which comprises: (i) at least one reaction unit having a test chamber connected to at least one microchannel, wherein a surface of at least a portion of said reaction unit is attached to an isolated nucleic acid; and (ii) a flow-through channel having at least one inlet port and at least one outlet port, said flow-through channel and said microchannel being of dimensions to allow reactant diffusion to and from said reaction unit, wherein the diffusion time of said reactant along the microchannel is shorter than the flow time along the microchannel.
